Abstract

In this study, co-gasification behaviors and synergistic interaction of bituminous coal and walnut shell under CO2 atmosphere were investigated by using a thermogravimetric analyzer. The evolution of physicochemical properties of samples was characterized with an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer, an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, and an X-ray diffractometer. The results indicated that the addition of walnut shell significantly enhanced the gasification reactivity of coal, and coal/biomass blend ratio of 7:3 showed an intense gasification. Moreover, a significant co-gasification interaction was observed in the char gasification stage and demonstrated that a high coal/biomass blend ratio induced the formation of amorphous carbons and further accelerated the co-gasification reaction. Meanwhile, the active inorganics were severely released as 30 wt% bituminous coal added to walnut shell, causing a deteriorative gasification reactivity. Furthermore, three kinetic models illustrated that the coal/biomass blend ratio of 7:3 required a minimum activation energy to initialize gasification. The findings in this work would be beneficial for revealing the co-gasification mechanism of biomass and coal, and provide a useful basis on their multi-scale applications.
